how to handle getting absolutely crushed to pieces? .
first and foremost, breathe, or atleast try to 😕. those first few breaths are all the more challenging when the majority of your lifeline has been smashed to shit and there is nothing left to help pull you to the surface. somehow you find a way and get those breaths and you are over the first hurdle. congrats. these breaths are all the more important considering you are at a boat access point break in a remote corner of a central American country. (side note, when doing writing of any kind for best results always assume your parents aren't going to read your work lol #sorrynotsorry again mom 😎😗). .
now for a check on perspective after your pounding: you are OK, you can breathe, you still have all your parts (your board is another story 😅), so things aren't all that bad. let's paddle back to the boat and take this a step further by adding in some gratitude. you are half way through an amazing week with a beautiful group of like minded new friends sharing food, nature and laughs in a stunning location. now back in the safety of the boat you return to your breathing while the tide starts rising and the left hand point break starts firing real tasty like! a generous guide offers up his board, you paddle back into the fury and catch a juicy drop into one of your top five #waves of all time. boo to the ya 😁. the new board you are using is a different size and shape then your smashed board and you realize that the old board no longer serves it's purpose while the new board will only help you up your game. .
well that sure turned around real fast 😊.
. this week when you get rocked with a massive hold down remember first to #breathe , then check your #perspective , followed by a dash of #gratitude , then watch #Magic happen. .
have a great week friends ☺.
